When Jake Ducey left behind the predictable life of a troubled teen, he took a risk most of us rarely take…one that our heart beckons us all to follow. His profound spiritual journey around the world and his ultimate transformation will rekindle your belief in yourself, the beauty of humanity, and remind you joy is a gift that's always available!

In college on a basketball scholarship and headed for a sports career, at 19 Jake Ducey, a kid from a good Southern California family, seemed to have it all. But he didn’t. Something was missing, and the emptiness had led him to a life fueled by alcohol and drugs. Following his heart, Jake left it all behind and, with his meager savings, traveled the world. What he ended up finding was that what he was looking for was inside him all the time, that our destiny is reached only if we look inside of ourselves first.

At 21, Jake authored Into the Wind (Waterside, April 2013) and he now speaks throughout the country on consciously and responsibly creating our lives.
